Fingerboard length
Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2023 2:44 pm
Hello,
I am starting up to learn the concert zither again. I have a couple of zithers and am not sure which one to use. They have different lengths of the fingerboard by about 3/4 to 1 inch. As I have short fingers, maybe I should use the shorter one? Not sure if that matters because the open strings are the same. Is the shorter fingerboard made for children? Also, curious to know what an Alt (old) Zither is, or an Alto Zither? Are they the same?
Thanks for any response,
liz
